Small Group Leader Registration

Groups are the friends we grow, laugh, and serve with. That's why we're thrilled that you want to step out in faith to build the relationships God has called each of us to build! Our Groups Team is excited to share more about this valuable role and support you with the right resources and relationships.

Co-Leader

We are passionate about developing leaders to continuously help people who are far from God reach their full potential in Christ.

A co-leader is another leader that will help you build, mold, and shape your Group. This is a leader who you are training up to eventually be sent out as a group leader.

About Your Group

Which best describes your group? *

What type of group would you like to lead? *

Select the ones that apply.

Group Name *

Your group name should be intuitive, inviting, and down to earth. It should match the purpose of the group and should appeal to people who are not familiar with Elevate Church or the group. Your group name should make people feel included, so when choosing a name be sure to avoid using:

• Words or acronyms that people may not understand such as “Churchy” words or clichés
• Wording that really belongs in the group description (such as “35+ Singles")

Many ongoing Small Groups choose to use the leader’s name as the group name, which is fine. A name such as “The Hardy’s Group” is acceptable, but “The Hardys” is not because it’s less intuitive to someone new to the idea of Elevate Groups. Depending on the specific group you are leading, we may offer suggestions or make adjustments to your group name such as for Summer Squads.

What is your group about? *

The description you write for your group will either draw a person to connect with the group or become a turn-off, depending how it is written. Put thought into your description so that it is warm and informative. Add a personal touch and avoid wording that people don’t understand (so readers don’t feel like outsiders).
The description should:

• Clarify for the reader what type of person your group might appeal to
• Be inviting to people who don’t have a church background
• Include a sentence or two about the purpose of the group or what you’d like to accomplish
• If applicable, explain the content the group uses (such as curriculum or discussion of the most recent weekend message)
• Clarify how the group handles childcare (if the group is open to adults who may have children)
• If your location has pets, this NEEDS to be stated in this description

Who is your group designed for? *

Do you have an age range? *

Will your group be family-friendly? Are children welcome to attend with their parents? If so, let us know so we can share that with those looking for a group that accommodates kids. *

If yes, please ensure you include how this is handled in your group description above. Childcare, etc.

How will your group meet? *

Please select the primary way your group will meet.

Where will your group meet? *

To avoid any confusion or overlapping of groups at the same location, please be specific and include the full address. (Example, Chipotle Mexican Grill 6611 Peach St, Erie, PA 16509)

If you will meet online, please include your digital link.

How often will your group meet? *

What day will you meet? *

What time will your group meet? *

Please provide both a start and end time. We recommend a length of 1.5 hours, but feel free to adjust based on your group’s needs.
